This Is What A Boss Battle In The New Zelda 3DS Looks Like

Yesterday, after Nintendo announced a new Zelda set in the world of A Link To The Past, Kotaku was given a chance to have some hands-on time with the 3DS title.

Compare the footage above to this:

Here's some more footage of the 3DS Zelda, including the new wall mechanic. So far, the game inspires confidence.
